That is definitely someones cherished toy. That clean a machine, especially one that tends to sling oil, is amazing. Like it just left the factory assembly line.

Was there a particular occassion?

It was stopping by so the crew could have lunch and take on fuel (they took 200 ga). It had apparently just come from maintenance inspections.

It truly was spotless. The only oil I saw was freshly from the engines, and even so it was a very small streak which is expected of those engines. Even the leaked oil was perfectly clean! Other than that, there was no grease whatsoever. I didn't take a picture up in the wheel well, but you could have eaten off those surfaces. I included the picture of the gear so you could see how flawless it is. The crew said they spend a total of two weeks spot cleaning it inch by inch. Sexy!!
